Harbortouch

Harbortouch has notified the representative and advised of the complaint and requested action on there part to help settle the issue. At this point the complaint lies between the ISO and the Merchant. Harbortouch will continue to monitor the situation however the discussions are occurring between the rep and merchant.

Buyer Beware! Harbortouch is bribing all negative reviews to be deleted! A complete ripoff! Please read. Their true rating would be a 1 star if not for this. My company refused to take the bribe only because they tried to even rip us off trying to cancel one of our 5 contracts with them. They said they would give us half off our early termination fee if we deleted our first negative review. However, the early termination doubled!! so they made us pay almost the same amount. Absolutely miserable to deal with in every way. They raise processing fees in the middle of the contract. They will not let you leave a contract that has ended even if you pay thousands of dollars. Use S[redacted] or C[redacted] or another modern, no contract processor.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  I signed the contract through sales representative, the contract with Harbortouch signed through them as well., I never call  to your company to ask for merchant service. I just take whatever they come to my salon to offer for. Harbotouch should contacts me first for all the paper work and the term If Harbortouch did not offer Month to Month contract so contract from Harbortouch  is invalid to me also. Please remove all termination fee, I was the victim of  Harbortouch and the salesmen . If nobody handles the problems, I have to find whatever way to protect my interest to General Attorney office for next step of complaining.

We are sorry to hear...

of [redacted]' dissatisfaction with our service.  Harbortouch values each merchant it serves, realizing that exceptional customer service is just as important as competitive pricing and innovative products.  
The refund has been under review and has been released today.  [redacted]s should see the refund in her merchant account in two business days.

Attached Harbortouch has posted a document in which the merchant agrees to receiving the and understanding the terms and conditions set forth by the contract in which they agreed to. The document also shows the section in which the fee's the merchant references (section 2). The document contains the...

electronic signature of the merchant as well a initials on each associated page. 
To satisfy this complaint Harbortouch will waive all associated early termination fee's, however Harbortouch cannot fully execute the closure without a signed form that must be obtained from our Customer Service department. Harbortouch thus advises merchant to contact Harbortouch CS in which notes will be provided to send appropriate forms. The terminal that the merchant received must be returned to Harbortouch as well at merchant expense.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
It's a regulatory requirement that the balance of EBT transaction shows on the same receipt as the last transaction in addition to giving the option to check the balance using Balance Inquiry function
You still didn't address the concern whether the extra terminal you're suggesting is integrate with the cash register just like the original terminal advertised to do

Harbortouch has already refunded the merchant a total of $805 worth of OD fee's. The current hold that is on this account is a result of the merchant putting a freeze on there account thus removing Harbortouch's access to credit/debit the account. The current freeze cannot be removed without...

merchant action, not action on the part of Harbortouch. The contract is a 5 year commitment and is outlined within the contract the merchant signed and agreed to. If merchant needs a copy of there contract one can be provided, however will be provided via USPS.

After 2 years of working with Harbortouch, I can say that I am thrilled with this company. I have used several credit card companies in the past but Harbortouch has been by far the best to work with. Most Credit card processing companies will promise you anything you want to hear in order to lock you into contract and then just start adding fees and increasing rates throughout the contract but Harbortouch has stayed true to their word. There have not been any unexpected or shade fees added. I am also very impressed at how involved the owner (Jared) is in this business. I did not know him prior to signing up with Harbortouch but he has emailed me personally multiple times. This is a sign a truly friendly and trustworthy business. Their services are fast and professional. Even their customer service is a delight to work with. I definitely recommend Harbortouch as a Credit Card Processor.

Harbortouch has made an attempt to resolve this matter. We submitted our final offer to settle.

Harbortouch as an attempt to fix the IP related issue had sent 2 swaps in attempts to fix. The swaps itself prove that the issue was not with the hardware and could of very well been a restriction on the network of the customer. This is a common issue that Harbortouch cannot assist with, however is...

normally resolved by merchant and a 3rd party. The ETF that was applied was outlined on the cancellation form that I have attached and there is a clear check box above the amount to be debited and the explanation.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  Harbortouch has failed to do the following:
* Explain why they closed our account (and without telling us until well after the fact in a letter that more no name, so it means nothing).
* Why they attempted to take out $3174.00 from our account  on 10/23/14, when the authorized monthly fee was $74.99; why it got their credit card processing company TSYS to attempt to withdraw $7903.20 from our account which they collect on percentage (meaning we needed to have $2,395,000.00 in charged receivables that day, which is not remotely close to what we had charged; we charged only $7903.19)
* Why did they blacklist us with [redacted], when again, we were supposed to pay $74.99 per month and not $3174.00 flat, nor did their termination letter have a name or explanation as to why they terminated us, when there was no negative history prior to the two charges of $7903.19.
* I had run after Harbortouch from the day after the charge to make sure that my client did not attempt to stiff me using someone else's identity.  The irony is that Harbortouch's risk department only called me when I was looking for answers as to why it was taking more than 24 hours to batch the payments, as well as why it was taking so long to process.  When I had contacted Kristy M[redacted] @ Harbortouch Risks Department she did not confirm one way or another the name of the person who's credit cards were being charged.  The reason why I am making such a big point of this is that I had told her my client's name when I had disputed that I had reversed an overcharge on one card through the POS, while she insisted that the POS did not accept it and that I contact a person in research who can help (which I had subsequently done).
* Why did Harbortouch try to charge my company $450.00 for the credit card swipe machines when Nathan Wolf picked them up from me in March?  
As you can see, Harbortouch has not done anything; I had to run after them about everything in this case.  They have zero credibility, and I believe that they had my company blacklisted on [redacted] as a cover up to Kristy M[redacted]'s gross negligence.
We are the victims in this.  On top of this because of the Blacklisting in [redacted], we can't receive any merchant services from a competitor of Harbortouch.
We wonder, because of the burden that is on Harbortouch to have us blacklisted, how on earth did they succeed when they did not take any correct measures in communicating, and getting things done correctly as well.
Before anything can get accomplished, we need to be removed from the blacklist without further delay.  Harbortouch wants to reach a resolution...... let's start with an important start.
From there we can start moving forward.

[redacted]
